Confession. I used to work at Abercrombie & Fitch in college. I made it about two months . . . spending most of my check on items that we were required to buy by the company . . . before I couldn’t do it anymore.
There was a long period of time when Abercrombie got a bad rap (rightfully so) and I would cringe if someone asked what jeans I was wearing while I had their denim on. BUT. They’ve recently gotten rid of their controversial CEO and unveiled a new brand identity with the help of Ashley Sargent Price, Creative Director of Marketing and J. Crew alumna. And OMG is it good. I randomly decided to check out their Black Friday sale (50% off everything & free shipping) and wanted it ALL. Literally. This is not the A&F you remember from back in the day. See for yourself . . .

So what do you think?? Is Abercrombie worth another look?

Well, look at that! I bought three things…never even gave them a second thought before this post…
I want it all too!
GAH !! Forget express, I want all of this instead !!!! Like, WOW. So beyond impressed with it all !!!!!
Wow!! How to decide – I really want it all!
But what size to order?? Is it still the tiny sizing that I remember? Any suggestions for 5’5″ 126lb, usually a size s/6 – maybe medium?
Good question! I’m wondering this too…
I bought jeans from A&E last Christmas and the sizes seemed more true to size than in the past. I actually sized up when purchasing and they were too big. I can’t speak for the tops but I would go with my normal size in jeans.
Thank you !!
Thanks! The sizing chart suggested true to size, but I was still suspicious LOL.
I remember going in there in my early 20’s and a size 27 being the biggest they carried in jeans – and at that, it was a couple of pairs on the top shelf
ANF is more true to size now with amazing fit and quality!
So cute! I jumped right up to order the faux fur coat – hoping it doesn’t run tiny!
The faux fur coat arrived (already) and it is really nice. Unfortunately, it is just a bit too small, so I’m back on the search for a faux fur coat. If you’re considering this one, I’d still recommend it!!
I worked there too! *Cringe* And wasn’t allowed to promote to management bcs I was a size 12. SMH. Remember you were never allowed to wear black?? Thanks for posting this – glad to learn of the change.
Nice to know about the changes. When I saw this post, I scrolled right past but then came back to check it out. Just bought 2 sweaters. The black skinny jeans which had really caught my eye? Sold out in almost all of the long sizes 🙁
I bought the sequin long sleeve dress, another dress and a sweater and I really love them all! Thanks for information.
And, I agree the sizes are true to size. I’m 5-2 105lbs and wear an XS.
